The open star cluster NGC1893, packed together in the center of the image, radiates ultraviolet energy in all directions, ionizing the emission nebula IC410. Note the 2 features in the bottom right hand quadrant of the picture. Looking to the fanciful eye like a tadpole, and a frog these formations are composed of denser material in the nebula that have not yet been blown away by the stellar radiation from the open cluster. Behind them twisted tails of gas and dust meander through the image.
